Well over the past few months my new 2 year old tabby has watched my beardy Gizmo with interest, but is just plain terriffied if she rund over to him (she jumped on him while he was asleep and i think she spiked him lol!) So since then he just totters around and dosnt pay too much attention...

Well i just had to rant! Last year an old friend contacted me on facebook saying he had got a dragon but she was a bit ill. I went over all his set up and found he had fallen into the trap of listening to the pet shop, had zilla lights, sand, wasnt feeding enough, wasn't bathing etc. I wen...

Well for those that dont know, Gizmo (my 3yr old female) hasnt been too well. We think she did a bit of damage to her leg from running around like a loon in her cage while we were at work, i mean seriously pacing, scratching, jumping, flying. Even when we get her out shes tearing the house up...

Hello all, as some of you may know ive been having troubles getting Gizmo, my 3yr old female, to eat. She came out of brumination, spent 2 weeks tearing the place up jumping on everything, then a few weeks of moody/ still not eating, but still showing happy colours. Well she 'woke up' again this...

So Gizmo is about 3 now, she came out of brumination and we had a very mad week where she was constantly scratch etc. Then we got a few bad days, in which she slowed down (and didnt eat) shes very perky now a bit more vrrrum in her, but shes still not eating! I can get her to eat about 4 butters...

So spring has finally hit the UK and dont i know it, Gizmo has been making track all over the house, tearing up her cage and generally being boystress. I love it when shes like this, but she hasnt eaten veggies in three weeks, or feeders in two. Now im sure shes hungry, gotta be right? But she...

Hello, it has been a VERY long time since i put a nice photo of Gizmo up, she has been a bit of a basking potatoe so not so glamerous!! Anyway here she is...... and on her new platform and a body shot - she a hefer!

OMG!! i have just got some roaches delivered for the first time and how do you guy do this, they are sooooo creepy!! my s/o has now seen them and has banned me from breeding them ever! its the first time ever i have been creeped out by buggs!

Hello everyone! Last year i built a 4ftx1.5 by 2ft high cage, because i couldn't find a 4x8 sheet at all, and buying them separately is a bit more expensive. Any way my DIY finger is getting itchy and my S/O has finally caved and said i could make a bigger cage if i wanted! Yay! So i have...

Hello everyone! Gizmo is three years old, and have never been one to shed all at once, so at first i wasn't too worried. In November her head when light and she shed most of it, but not her beard. Anywho she hasn't bruminated this year, a little lazy perhaps but is still eating etc. Her beard...

Well Gizmo is really trying to get some sleep, but she ate a decent sized meal about 6 days ago, so i have been trying to get her to have one last poop before i let her sleep, i dont want her getting ill. I have been giving her warm baths everyday (i always have) but began massaging, but...

Well ive been in denial i think! Lets face it Gizmo just dosnt eat veggies! I have tried everything, cut and grated, alone and mixed. Some days she will have squash, other, like now as she slows down, nothing at all! For feeders she gets a mix of locusts, supers and butters. I have been giving...

Hello everyone! I have been using the arcadia 12% bulb for a year or so now, and have always wondered about MBV's. I have a cross-fire-like enclosure that i built last year and wondered how it works, incandescent bulbs i can dim, what can i do if this one is too hot? Also how do you affix a...

Hello all, well today in Gizmos bath i saw that she was really straining very hard, which is unusual for her, i took her out and she carried on. I got worried and lifted her tail slightly, and OMG saw what looked like urate (white) surrounded by a blood sack, like a prolapse. She stopped...

Please, the vets its colsed unitil morning and im not sure what to do. I had Gizmo out today, she ran around,sat with me and was very happy. I cooked dinner, went to stroke her afterward, and one of her toenails was missing! It looks very red and she hates me touching it, im worried it may be...

Im at a loss as to what may be wrong with Gizmo, perhps someone else will be able to! For a few wekks now Gizmo has been much darker than usual and more often than not spends alot of time at the cool end of her cage. Her temps are 102-106 (measured with a temp gun and a digital with probe)...

Hello all, i thought i would start a new topic as its now a new problem. Gizmo was going nuts last week and i thought it was another phantom pregnancy thing as she didnt want to dig, well i was worng (i feel horrible!!!) she laid two eggs on friday (very small clutch i know!!). She had finsishe...

Hello, i was really after some sound words of advice here! I have gone away for a weeks holiday (well staying with my parents) and after a very bad experience with the 'kennel' at the pet shop Gizmo has come with us. I got the largest storage box i could (28"x16x16) not the biggest i know but...
